A man's body has been recovered from the River Erne in Fermanagh.

The PSNI says it worked with other emergency services yesterday in Belleek.

A post mortem examination is due to be carried out but the death is not being treated as suspicious at this time.

Ulster Unionist MLA for Fermanagh and South Tyrone Rosemary Barton said:

"The death of this young man has shocked the communities of Belleek and Garrison.

"Unfortunately it is not the first time that this stretch of the River Erne has taken a life.

"My sympathy and prayers are with the young man's family at this difficult time."
